Wake up, folks! So all the non-profit audits were conservative. What do you think the chances are that the audits of INDIVIDUAL Americans are utterly random and can be shown to be so by hard data? Please write your Congressman to demand inquiry! Glenn, as a public figure, I would be delighted to see you mention this in a public forum.

We have tax audits today, and don't forget about those health assessments coming around the bend. The IRS administrates Obamacare. With the NSA and others watching your E-mails, the fascists will know just what the doctor needs to order.

Why do the very stones not cry out at the hypocrisy? Does it need to be said that if such an abomination had occurred under a Republican the media would be in full bray for impeachment? My God, Nixon only talked about the possibility of using the IRS to harass his enemies, and the NYT bled from their editorial eyes. Barack I actually does it, and the silence is deafening.

The IRS is a political weapon and it will remain a political weapon, because there is no reason any more for it not to be a political weapon. This same pattern is also true for all sorts of other things we still somehow think are nonpartisan. There is no nonpartisan, for anything, ever again.

Remember the IRS refused to do what a republican president asked and that request was part of a bill of impeachment. The IRS is populated by progressives at the highest levels. It will only be a political weapon when a progressive is in power.

I am surprised that the Obama bureaucracy doesn't stick to its early narrative. I thought early on they said that there were some liberal (c)(4)s that were given extra TLC as well as conservative. Maybe that was a journalist urban legend.

The extra "TLC", as I recall, was that "Yes, a few -- 7, I read -- liberal group app's were pulled aside, along with the 200+ conservative groups. BUT: rather than harrassment & audits, they were speeded along for fast-track approval in most cases." Yup. It "pays" to be liberal.

If a far-right president had ordered the IRS to target liberal organizations, you would have been able to fill an auditorium with the IRS employees who quickly reported this to the press.But when Obama actually did do it, there were no whistleblowers.Conclusion: The IRS is staffed by people who like tyranny, as long as it is a left-wing tyranny.

And if a far-right president had done this, it would be front-page news every day until the president was impeached.But since it's a left-wing president, nearly the entire news establishment tries to suppress the scandal.Conclusion: When liberals get power, they behave like the fascists they pretend not to be.
